Why Remove Backgrounds?

Clean, white-background product photos increase conversion rates by up to 20%. They look professional and consistent across your store.

Methods

1. AI Background Removal (Recommended)

Our built-in tool uses AI to detect the subject and remove the background in seconds. Works best with:
  • Products on contrasting backgrounds
  • Clear subject edges
  • Well-lit photos

    • 2. Manual Editing

    For complex cases, use Photoshop or GIMP with the pen tool for precise edge selection.

    Best Practices

  • Shoot on a plain background to make removal easier
  • Ensure good lighting and sharp focus
  • Use transparent PNG for maximum flexibility
  • Convert to WebP for web display
